“…With respect to the actor effects, parents with higher levels of emotion dysregulation seemed to feel more stress of parenting than parents with less emotion dysregulation. Previous findings have supported the association between emotion dysregulation and stress in general (Wang & Saudino, 2011) and also between emotion dysregulation and some specific types of stress (e.g., Bardeen, Kumpula, & Orcutt, 2013). In line with these findings, our results provide empirical evidence that emotion dysregulation might also be a powerful predictor of parenting stress.…”

SYNOPSISObjective. This study focused on the intrapersonal and interpersonal effects of parents' histories of childhood emotional abuse and emotion dysregulation on parenting stress in a sample of school-age children's fathers and mothers in Mainland China. Design. One hundred ninety-four Chinese couples participated. Structural equation modeling within the framework of the actor-partner interdependence mediation model was used to assess whether emotion dysregulation mediates relations between parents' childhood emotional abuse and parenting stress of both individuals and their spouses. Results. The childhood emotional abuse of one parent was significantly associated with the parenting stress of both parents through the emotion dysregulation of the parent who was emotionally abused. Conclusions. Links between emotional abuse and parenting stress in the family system are complex, and both parents' childhood histories of emotional abuse play roles in parenting.

“…The interrelationships between stress, anxiety, and depression may reflect a confounding of constructs but may also signal dysregulation in shared underlying psychological symptom management processes. Recent literature highlights that the close link between stress, stress coping, and emotion regulation may denote that both emotion regulation and stress coping entail similar processes of regulatory management of negative affect (Wang & Saudino, ). On the basis of a similar premise, “mutual maintenance” models have been proposed to explain the high comorbidity between anxiety disorders and chronic pain (Asmundson & Katz, ; Sharp & Harvey, ).…”

Lately, cognitive behavioral models have put forth that the co‐occurrence of pain and stress might be explained by mutually maintaining psychological mechanisms such as catastrophizing and avoidance. This study aimed to map the interrelationship between pain, stress, catastrophizing, cognitive, and behavioral avoidance across time. A general population sample (n = 551) was followed from baseline to 3‐month and 1‐year follow‐up. The results revealed subgroups with stress and pain in combination as well as in isolation. The subgroups were highly stable across time, and catastrophizing, cognitive, and behavioral avoidance were related to the development of symptoms. The results support that shared, but also specific cognitive and behavioral, processes may maintain and drive the development of pain and stress problems.

“…Although related to the construct of coping, Gross (1998aGross ( , 1998b contends that emotion regulation is a separate construct. Coping, which represents a broader category than emotion regulation, is a process through which an individual can respond to external problems or respond to internal emotions (Wang & Saudino, 2011). Further, coping is generally considered context dependent, referring to the fact that it does not occur in the absence of stress, and time dependent in that coping does not occur prior to encountering a stressful event (Wang & Saudino, 2011).…”

“…Coping, which represents a broader category than emotion regulation, is a process through which an individual can respond to external problems or respond to internal emotions (Wang & Saudino, 2011). Further, coping is generally considered context dependent, referring to the fact that it does not occur in the absence of stress, and time dependent in that coping does not occur prior to encountering a stressful event (Wang & Saudino, 2011). Unlike coping, emotion regulation is primarily used to regulate internal emotions, which involves the expressive and physiological regulation of emotions occurring within the body at a given point in time (Gross, 1999).…”

Emotion Regulation and Cardiovascular Response to Emotion Provocation: Reappraisal versus Suppression

Emotion regulation is a process through which individuals alter the subjective, behavioral and physiological responses to emotional experiences. Within the emotion regulation model, reappraisal and suppression are two strategies that have been studied extensively. However, this research has largely ignored the effects of individual differences in emotion regulation when examining reappraisal and suppression. The purpose of this study was to examine individual differences in reappraisal and suppression (e.g., one's preferred emotion regulation strategy) as well as examining the effects of instructional use of reappraisal and suppression. In the present study, participants, classified as habitual reappraisers and habitual suppressors, engaged in both reappraisal and suppression while viewing fear film clips. Measures of cardiovascular and affective responses to the film clips were obtained. A main effect of instructions was found for systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP respectively) with the reappraisal instructions resulting in lower blood pressure (BP) values than the suppression instructions. No additional main effects for the other dependent measures were observed. In addition, no interaction effects of habitual-strategy use (habitual reappraisers and suppressors) by instructional set (reappraisal vs. suppression) were observed. The findings of a main effect of instructions for SBP and DBP are consistent with the literature in demonstrating that engagement in reappraisal produces lesser sympathetic activation as compared to engagement in suppression. The results demonstrate that reappraisal is associated with more positive cardiovascular benefits than suppression. These results extend previous work in demonstrating that the positive benefits of reappraisal are consistent when explored with an emotion that has received lesser attention in this literature (e.g., fear). Therefore, as this study and other recent studies have demonstrated, the effects of reappraisal appear to be consistent across negative emotions. This is a critical finding that increases the generalizability of reappraisal effects. Although habitual emotion regulation yielded no effects in the present study (as main effects or interacting with instructional set), low power limited detection of such effects. Future research is needed to examine the effect of habitual emotion regulation strategy on physiological responding to acute stress as well as responses to more natural stressors using ambulatory measurement strategies.
